Ready, Aim, Fire: Welcome to Sagittarius Season

A look ahead at the six Gate frequencies coming our way as the archer reigns the sky

‘Tis the season of bold moves, big ideas, hyperfocus & moral conscience…or not.

Welcome to Sagittarius season, friends,

the month-long sojourn between Thanksgiving and Christmas during which humanity is tested — and highly influenced — by the energy of that optimistic centaur up there in the sky, who’s excitedly galloping to and fro, aiming his arrow at this and at that.

Here’s a quick look ahead at the six Gate frequencies that Sagittarius brings. the kinds of issues you can expect to unfurl, and how to handle them, from now through December 25th:

November 21-27: Use Your Power Wisely

Gate 34 – The Gate of Power, or The Power of the Great

We’re in the thick of the Sun’s transit in Gate 34 right now. Catch up on the latest Frequency Forecast if you haven’t done the deep dive into this Sacral beast.

Quick recap:

Gate 34 is a Master at Doing All The Things (or not). It’s individualistic, independent, & has a tremendous store of regenerative vitality.

This vibration could help us love our jobs, channel our power into a project with enthusiasm and stamina, accomplish a ton, and get others amped up to help us turn a mere idea into a real thing.

Or, this transit could cause us to abuse the power we have, bully people rather than entice them to help our cause, get frustrated, abandon the group, hate the work we’re faced with doing, and wind up burning out from over-exertion.

Either way, this Scorpio-Sag-cusp Gate wants us to examine and reflect upon whether, and how, we’re wielding our Power.

November 27 – December 3: Focus On the Details That Matter

Gate 9 – The Gate of Focus, or the Taming Power of the Small

This vibe is coming at us next, and it’s the perfect time to focus on the things we’re thankful for.

Quick overview:

Gate 9 is busy, but it might not look like super-productive…that is, until it presents its final product.

And, wow, what a masterpiece it will show us!

Gate 9 isn’t the energy of the multi-tasker or the juggler.

Instead, Gate 9 is ass-in-chair, consumed-by-details, hyper-focused energy for homing in the the smallest bits ‘n bobs you might have to squint to be able to see.

It’s threading the needle. It’s embroidery stitching. It’s examining P&L statements, poring over bank records and studying…thousands and thousands of emails, perhaps.

The trick with Gate 9 is in figuring out which details to focus on; deciding which ones are actually relevant; and making a determination as to which ones are just distractions.

We just might see a whole new barrage of new details, comin’ in hot. And we’ll have to sift ‘n sort through them, accordingly.

We’ve just been through a Mercury Retrograde in Gate 9. And before that, Mars was up there getting aggro over some tranche of details, making us squabble over which ones deserved our sustained attention.

We need to take this incoming Sun transit in Gate 9 as our opportunity to focus on whatever is set before us, sit our asses down and really examine them, filter out the junk so that we can zoom in on the intricacies that really matter, and recognize a distraction when we see one.

Warning: don’t lose sight of the big picture as you wade through all the distinct parts, one by one. And if you notice yourself feeling a little hyperactive and unable to focus, get curious. Ask yourself what details your subconscious would rather avoid, and think about why you feel compelled to keep moving as though everything’s just hunky-dory.

December 3-8: Set the Pace that’s Right For You

Gate 5 – The Gate of Fixed Rhythms

Gate 5 is the energy for setting the pace that’s right for you, tuning in to supportive patterns & traditions, and establishing healthy routines that could ultimately benefit your whole group.

When the Sun hits this transit in early December, we’ll be given a chance to march to whatever beat feels good ‘n natural.

This is a time to adjust our circadian rhythms ahead of the Winter Solstice, prepare to hunker down, process all the crops we harvested and preserve them for the long winter that’s coming.

But it’s tough — our capitalist society makes what could be a cozy season of hygga an insane rat-race through the mall.

This is a great time to reclaim your…time.

Set healthy boundaries during the Sun’s transit in Gate 5. Pause whenever, and for however, you need to. Wait to take action until the time is right. And don’t be afraid to set the pace that feels most nourishing and supportive for yourself and your loved ones.

Warning signs you may be using this energy all wrong:

You’re burned out and exhausted; you’re forcing things to happen despite it being a bad time to do so; you’re adjusting your life and schedule to meld with others’ expectations and/or demands; and you’re following someone else’s beat rather than setting a manageable rhythm yourself.

December 8-14: Get The Most Bang for Your Buck

Gate 26 – The Gate of the Egoist, or Integrity

Gate 26 is the energy for maximizing resources (or not). It’s tribalistic, meaning it’s very concerned with the idea that ‘I’ll scratch your back as long as you scratch mine.’ And it wants to get the best deal possible on things, without having to spend a ton of money, time or effort to get them.

The Egoist is ace at putting in minimum effort while still yielding the most prosperous rewards.

It’s highly persuasive and it can also be extraordinarily manipulative because it’s good at getting others to do the work, or pay the fees, it’d rather not have to deal with.

Under the influence of the Sun’s transit in Gate 26, then, I expect we’ll see a lot of convincing going on.

Some folks will be trying to sell other folks the dream. They’ll

We’ll likely see a few tech bros painting the picture of some ideal future that aims to assuage our fears (surveillance state, anyone?).

We’ll see nonprofits saying whatever they need to say to get people to care about and donate to the work they’re doing to serve vulnerable communities.

Others will, perhaps, be laying out their cases for why they deserve, say, leniency for a crime they committed, or higher wages because they’ve done more than their fair share of hard work this year.

Under this transit, just be careful what you pay for, think twice before signing any contracts, and beware of any offers that sound too good to be true.

Gate 26 will be working hard to inspire us.

We’ll see and hear things that could pull our heartstrings, appeal to our sense of optimism, ignite our sense of nostalgia, trigger our fears, or incite us to protect those we care about.

We might be asked to invest in someone’s idea, donate to their cause, or front some money to help their business venture,

because they’re gonna promise us that it’ll pay off for us, personally, if we do.

All this to say: stand in integrity, and beware of others who aren’t doing the same.

Be realistic. Be honest. Don’t sugarcoat something that’s full of rot underneath. Don’t make promises you can’t keep. And don’t manipulate people into doing things they shouldn’t have to do.

We’ll dive deeper into Gate 26 and its complexities when we get there, mid-December.

December 14-19: A Vivid Imagination

Gate 11 – The Gate of Ideas, or Peace

Juicy ideas will be popping off during the Sun’s transit in Gate 11, just before Christmas.

This is the energy for receiving all manner of passing thoughts and compelling narratives from the quantum field.

This could cause us to experience either a tremendous burst of creative thinking,

OR

intense mental pressure, a sense of overwhelm and anxiety, and maybe even severe headaches.

Kids might stay up late in their beds, unable to fall asleep during this transit because they’ll be ruminating over the idea that some bearded man in a red hat, yelling “Ho!”, will be breaking into their home in the middle of the night very soon.

The rest of us might find ourselves equally tricked, convincing ourselves that our imagined thoughts are real and imminent. Like, we might anticipate the idea of opening a box that holds a huge diamond ring while our longtime boyfriend gets down on one knee to pop The Question…

Some of our thoughts will be delightfully delusional and entertaining: visions of sugarplums dancing in our heads, angels visiting us from on high, our loving, functional family members gathered ‘round the hearth sipping eggnog, wearing matching PJ’s…

Other thoughts, we might interpret to be shameful — adulterous trysts, kinky sex, gory murders, presidents on their knees…omfg — so we might keep them inside and never let anyone know we’re having them for fear we’d come off as deranged.

But are these thoughts real or imagined?

Are they false flags, are they meant for entertainment purposes only, or are they, in fact, worthwhile ideas that will lead to the next big innovation?

Who knows?!

The trick with Gate 11 is to offer our ideas up as mere possibilities.

And only to take the ideas we’re hearing, from out there in the ether, with a grain of salt.

What we’ll become aware of during the Sun’s transit in Gate 11 originated from someone’s vivid imagination.

They’re not necessarily facts. Not certainties. Not definites. Not demands. Not absolutes. Not yet, anyway.

Whatever you hear during this transit, accept it as just an idea.

A high-vibe person with Gate 11 offers up their ideas as “Hey, here’s something to chew on that just popped into my head,” in case anyone nearby might find them interesting or valuable.

Offloading them is what helps them feel peaceful. Holding them inside makes them ruminate and become anxious.

During this transit, we must not fool ourselves into believing that every passing whimsy we hear or come up with is an idea we must execute on, or that it’s even true.

We need to recognize that there’s a difference between fact and fiction. Once we’re clear on that, we can sit back and enjoy the stream-of-consciousness kind of thinking that comes with Gate 11 territory.

Guys, I can’t go without saying this, Gate 11 Gate is Trump’s Conscious Earth. Meaning:

Spouting off fiction, fantasy, possibilities, paranoias, delusions, funny stories, compelling ideas and possible business ventures is what’s most grounding for him.

Whether he realizes it or not, he does this to stay stable.

But he doesn’t do it healthily. He’s not using Gate 11 in a high-vibe way: He presents his ideas as though they’re all certainties that must be made real, when they are actually just his vivid imagination, his dirty fantasies and his horrific delusions that might’ve made for great TV but that have no place in governance.

His out-of-whack Gate 11 is why we can’t believe a word that comes out of his mouth, but it’s also why a ton of people have fallen for his lies. They’re really compelling!

This energy is what made Trump a great reality-TV star. It makes him funny, charming, interesting and magnetic.

It’s also why he didn’t actually win the 2024 election.

It’s why he wasn’t actually shot in Butler, PA.

And it’s why he got caught up in a fantasy-island pedophilia ring.

He believed all his ideas needed to come true, and so he convinced people to make them reality, when they would’ve been better left for a Netflix script.

So, take this transit with discernment and conscious care.

Remember that some ideas will make for a great story ‘round the campfire, a funny joke at a cocktail party, or a titillating tale at open mic night.

But if you were to try to turn them all into reality, you’d drive yourself nuts.

December 19-22: Find Your Moral Compass

Gate 10 – The Gate of the Behavior of the Self, or Self-Love

Gate 10 is individualistic energy for demonstrating how to be a good human, or not.

And when we pick this transit apart, day by day for six days, we see that it follows the natural order of things in the same way we build from one Profile Line to the next.

Gate 10’s frequency has us, first, building a solid foundation of self-awareness, compelling us to do deep inner work and self-reflection on who we are, why we’re here, and what our purpose in this world is.

Then we can move toward building mastery in expressing our true selves, so that we demonstrate the best of what we, as individuals, have to offer.

From there, we shift toward experimenting with what else we could achieve. We test boundaries, take risks, and show a willingness to break from societal norms whenever we realize that the status-quo societal norms we’ve been following are actually toxic and hurtful.

After that, we share the goodness of our full, unapologetic selves with others we trust. We celebrate friendship and family. And we show up and do our part, proudly demonstrating what we’re uniquely capable of, but being honest about our limits all the while.

We realize, then, that we’re actually capable of a tremendous amount. We have the strength of character and the moral aptitude to do the hard thing whenever we’re called upon; when someone else is suffering; when there is no other choice but to jump in and sacrifice ourselves for the betterment of humanity.

And finally, after proving to ourselves and everyone else (not that we ever needed to) that we are good, honest, decent human beings, we fall deeply in love with our true selves.

No apologies, no excuses, no hiding it. We unlock self-love because we’ve stepped into our full authenticity, and that’s how we become leaders who inspire and empower.

All of this goodness, or, we get the flip side of Gate 10, which I anticipate will be more likely.

The low-vibe of Gate 10 looks like:

people sliding into “poor me” victimhood.

People turning into Eeyore from Winne the Pooh.

Negative Nellies running the place.

Not-enough-ness.

They’ll feel sorry for themselves and blame everyone else for everything that’s ever wrong.

They’ll finger-point when they’re the guilty one,

and they’ll become incapable of taking responsibility for their actions.

Again, we’ll cover all of these Gates in more depth when the Sun hits their transits.

Til then, just wanted you to have a glimpse into the future so you can start paying attention to what’s happening in this swiftly-shifting landscape.
